While 2.3 created files/directories in the name of the current user under ~/mail, 2.4 tries to write as mail:mail and therefore gets denied, since the user directories are owned by username:users and obviously have no permissions for other users.
The change of user/group not about mail/mbox configuration. It is about userdb configuration or perhaps mail_uid / mail_gid settings. There are no default changes related to them, so I guess you somehow configured them differently in v2.4.
